Now that things are going smoothly post transitioning to a new host, I'm able to start uploading some new photos! This newest set, featuring a cat mask I made from record vinyl, is probably one of my favourite short sets yet: 17 pictures (nipples up, not even full body shots) of this mask I simply adore! I never intended to take enough photos to really make a "set", but I ended up with so many shots I thought were yummy I just had to share the kitty love. It was an awesome craft project too... even if it broke my big toe. :P I'm sure mask fetishists, catgirl lovers, and geeks in general will be fond of this set too. :)

Members Only: 17 pics of me in the Black Cat Mask!

I met up with PK again last night for our second shoot; long ago he had asked about shooting me in the catsuit and we finally got around to doing it. :) I like this picture because it makes me think of a cutscene from a video game or some dramatic spy movie. One last moment of solemn contemplation before rounding the corner and killing tons of biker Nazis...

Walking around in a full tactical belt/harness set is quite an interesting thing... really brings out the swagger in a girl. ;) Photo copyright Peter Kim 2008.

I won't be publishing any of this shoot in the Members Only area, but they'll be up in an extended portfolio section once I get around to (re)making it. In the meantime, you can always enjoy more of the catsuit and guns (plus a few more) in PK's "Merrick in Black" set on Flickr--and do check the rest of his stream, which is continuously updated with new pics of more hot chicks with guns!

Also, my catsuit is getting up there in lives lived... looks like it's on its seventh now, only a few lives (and wears) left. PK and I discussed doing one more shoot with it, fire next time(!!), and maybe one after that to capture completely destroying the suit. So, anyone interested in donating to the "Buy Merrick a Swank New Catsuit" Fund? :D

So, here we are, the end of June 2008, and I'm almost ready to reopen the site *officially*.

Yes, I've been trying to recover from my previous host's server crashes this entire time. Okay, some of the time has been spent sulking about how fucked up things kept happening, but I'm over that now.

The last step before allowing new sign-ups is getting the Members Only gallery back up to par with what it had been right after the server crash, during my first "recovery"... that is, before my hosts fucked up my account some more. I think they probably /spit on the server box for good measure, I'm not sure. But I'm now officially done with those fucktards. I think the fastest response I ever got from their support department was in closing my account; they are just today getting back to a voicemail Makal left last Thursday regarding how to cancel the billing, so obviously they are uncoordinated on top of being incompetant! Huzzah.

Anyway, over that. I'm just working on uploading past photosets for now, and getting the gallery layout to look how I want it. Meta info like date shot and set summaries will be done once everything's uploaded. Then it's back to nothing but new sets, baby! I cannot wait. :D

July 1st is in a week; I might hold back until then, and make it my Official Grand Re-Opening Extravaganza!!! or something like that.
